Coach Training for Enneagram Enthusiasts

The Enneagram is a central developmental tool in the Integrative Coach Training program. The Enneagram is a powerful, effective and illuminating tool for reaching our potential. The Enneagram calls this integrating.

If you have a desire to help people grow personally or shine professionallyyou will love the Enneagram infused 6 month coach training, whether you are familiar with the Enneagram or new to it.

Integrative Coach Training puts the Enneagram into action giving people a jumping off point to begin developing in profound new ways. The Enneagram saves people years of struggle and jumps right to the core of the matter.

I'm a Five on the Enneagram - The Observer/Investigator. This means I question everything from electricity to the deepest ailments of humanity. My favorite quote for years really supported my inner Investigator and my Six/Loyalist-Doubter wing. This was: "The best thing about a skeptic is that they consider all things possible." by Thomas Mann.

When I was first introduced to the Enneagram I was skeptical, of course. How can anyone be pegged into a box? How can anyone be predictable if we have free will and the ability to choose?

The dutiful truth seeker within set to work and what I found was profound.

We, our essence, is free to choose. Our ego is predictable. The ego-self was created, and is sustained, by fractal thought processes and patterns, versus free thinking. These patterns keep us looping.

The Enneagram is unique because it is the only approach to personality that shows us an out to the loops and a pathway to free ourselves from self-limits.

Furthermore, the Enneagram is liken to our internal soft-ware. Whereas Myer's Briggs (MBTI) is our hardwiring. What this means is that since I'm wired as an INFJ (Introvert-Intuitive-Feeling-Judging), even if I develop social skills that come more naturally for an extrovert, I will still be an introvert and need to rejuvenate after too much social energy. In the Enneagram, my essence as a Five is to seek "the truth", however, if I choose to integrate into my potential I lose the strain of being too single focused and I begin to include (integrate) the gifts of all of the types in my life experience.

The goal of the Enneagram is to transcend our limiting patterns, rise above them, and enter into a new possibility.

For those interested in the Enneagram living in the Tucson area, we recommend the monthly meetings of the Enneagram Enthusiasts.
